Application filed. October 5, 1914. Serial No. 865,107.

carrylng member may be adjusted and locked at any, desired angle, the means for causing the manipulation of the same bemg simple and 1n ready access to the operator so that such adjustment may be obtained at will. a

A further objectof the present invention,

is the provision of a basemember, 311C113; swingingly mounted jaw carrying member connected thereto, such member being provided with cooperativeomeans whereby the jaw carrying member maybe locked at'any desired angularity with relation to the base member, the meansfor operating being in ready access to the operator and carrie bodily by the jaw member.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which. will appear as the description proceeds, the-inventionresides' in'tho combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention. In the drawingsFigure 1 is a side elevation of the complete vise embodying the present invention. Fig. 2 is a section taken on line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of the complete vise. ;Fig. 1- is a perspective view of the locking member. Fig. 5 is a detail view.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the attaching lugs of the base 2, which is made in the form of an annular member having the shouldered portions 3 and 4c, the shouldered portion 3 being provided with teeth orv serrations, the purpose of which willpresently appear.

The jaw carrying member 5 is provided with the circular projection 6, which is rotatably mounted within the base 2 adjacent the shouldered portion 4: and is held in place thereupon by means of the screw 20 disposed concentrically thereof. Thus the jaw carrying member 5 with the projection 6 is so mounted as to permit of the ready rotation of the jaw member 5 relatively to the stationary base sothat the jaws thereof may be disposed at any desired angularity. At one side of the jaw portion of theimember 5 is a vertical bore 7 forthe reception of the cylindrical portion 8 of the manipulat. ing member 9,-said member 9 being provided'with the slidable pin 10 so that the member 9 may be rotated andoperate the screw threaded end 15 thereof, the purpose of which will presently appear. In order that the member .9 may belocked against Withdrawal, the same is recessed as at 11 for:

the. reception of the locking member 12 which is asectional ring, as shown in Fig. 5 and is carried by the supporting portion of the jaw carrying member 5' as clearly illustratedin Fig. 2. The lower-end of the member 8 is mounted for rotation throughthc opening 13' of the limiting disk 14:, which.

fitsbelow the shoulder 4: withinthe toothed portion .3 of the base. 2 and is thus held against rotation by means of the member 8. Themember or arm 17 is provided with the. threaded, socket 16,f0r the reception of the threaded end 15 of the member 8, so that when the -member 8 is rotated, the member 1 17 will have its free end moved to or from the toothed portion 3 of the base 2, the open ing 18 thereof being loosely fitted upon the head 19 of the bolt 20 so as to permit of the necessary swinging movement, which in a device of this character is exceedingly small. It will thus be seen that by the manipulation of the stud or member 8, that the segmental head 21 of the arm or member 17 is so moved relatively to the teeth 3, as to place its teeth 22 into or out of engagement with the teeth 3 so as to form a means whereby the jaw member 5 is locked at any desired position relatively to the base 2.

The headl9 of the bolt 20 is merely a centering means and a pivotal point for the arm 17 inasmuch as the threaded end l5 of the member 8 retains the same in the desired position. The disk 14 is revoluble with the member 5 as the same is rotated to assume any desired adjustment relatively to the base2. K

From the foregoing description, it is evident that when it is desired to rotate or change the adjustment of the jawcarrying member 5 relatively to the base 2, it is p osite direction by the rod to cause the teeth 22 to be moved into engagement with the teeth 3, thus locking the jaw member 5 fixedly with relation to the base member 2.

What is claimed is: 1. A vise, including an annular base provided with a plurality of peripheral teeth upon the under side thereof, a jaw member having a cylindrical portion fitting within the annular member for rotation a pin for connecting the jaw carrying member to the basemember, an arm mounted uponsaid pin for rotary and lateral movements, the outer end of said arm being provided with teeth for coaction with the teeth of the base, and manually controlled means mounted in the base and engaging the free end of the arm for moving the teeth thereof into and out of engagement with the teeth of the base.

2. A vise, including an annular base member provided with a plurality of radial teeth therewithin, a jaw member provided with a cylindricalshouldered portion rotatably mounted in the base, a disk engaging the base and connected to the jaw carrying member for securing the jaw carrying member to the base, an arm carried by the jaw carrying member and having its free end toothed and disposed for cooperation with the teeth of the base, the free end thereof being disposed for movement to and from the teeth of the base, and manually controlled means mounted in the jaw carrying member and engaging the free end of the arm for moving the teeth thereof into and out of engagement with the teeth of the base.

3. A vise, including an annular base member provided with a plurality of radial teeth therewithin, a jaw member provided with a cylindrical shouldered portion rotatably mounted in the base,- a disk engaging the base and. connected to the jaw carrying member for securing the jaw carrying member to the base, an arm carried by the jaw carrying member and having its free end toothed and disposed for cooperation with the teeth of the base,the free end'thereof being disposed for movement to and from the teeth of the base, said arm being provided with an interiorly screw threaded socket adjacent the free end thereof, and a stud mounted for rotation within the base and having a threaded end for engagement with the socket, whereby with the manipulation of the stud, the arm is moved to and from the'base to engage and disengage the teeth thereof.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
